There is more to worry about than just the Feds .....

2257 requires you list your place of business. If you use your home as your legal place of business you need a business license. Your neighborhood may not be zoned for home business use, if you rent you could be violating your lease. Are you running a porn business near a school or playground.

Remember, you have stated to the Feds this is your business address .... now you have to deal with local and state regulations.

You are also a few keystrokes away from a local reporter or prosecutor doing a google for "your state, 2257, custodian of records" BOOM there you are. I would bet small operators are more likely to be outed by local publicity hunters than federal investigators .....

Just takes one local "porn in our neighborhood" news story to start a trend.
